Cao Xing's attitude made the newly appointed county guard angry, and at the same time, the newly appointed county guard can be regarded as understanding a problem, he wants Cao Xuan to hand over the position of the county guard of Jiuyuan County like this, which is undoubtedly a fool's dream.

Let's not talk about the attitude of Cao Xing's subordinates, let's just say that the people of Jiuyuan County probably won't support Cao Xing to go on, after all, Cao Xing is very popular here, and the people have received personal benefits from him.

So the newly appointed Jiuyuan County Guard, in the end, could only look at Cao Xuan viciously, pointed at Cao Xing and said: "Cao Xing, you have a kind, the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, this time you win!" Although the newly appointed Taishou said so on his face, he couldn't help but muttered behind his back: "After I go back, you see that I won't kill you." ”

After saying this, the newly appointed county guard turned around and wanted to leave, but at this moment, Cao Xing shouted loudly and stopped his steps: "Slow! ”

When the newly appointed man heard this, he was startled at first, but soon calmed down, he turned to look at Cao Xing, raised his head and asked, "Cao Xing, what else do you have to do?" I don't have time to fool around with you here! ”

Cao Xuan looked at the newly appointed county guard at this moment, and even put on an official ecology for himself, and he laughed thoroughly.

"I don't know this lord. Why are you going, could it be that you are reporting to Assassin Shi and others and suing me! ”

"So what? Shouldn't you report this kind of behavior? ”

"Hehe, it's not, I just think it's too troublesome for you to do this, because I estimate that what I did was already known to them by the assassins, so you don't have to!"

When the newly appointed county guard heard this, he didn't react at first, but then he was suddenly shocked in his heart, he looked at Cao Xuan with some anger, stepped forward and scolded sharply: "Cao Xing, what do you bastard want to do?" I'm also a staff member of the Bingzhou Assassin's Mansion, at least not something like you can afford to provoke, you'd better show me a little respect! ”

"Hehe, such a big official, in my Cao Xuan's territory, you dare to speak to me Cao Xuan in this tone, do you know the consequences!"

"What do you want to do? Cao Xing, I can tell you, you'd better let me out now, or you'll bear the consequences......"

However, Cao Xuan just smiled at the words of the new county guard, and saw him wave, like Chen Hu, Hu Che'er and a few others, slowly walked up.

"You, what are you doing, what are you doing...... the newly appointed county guard was dragged down by Chen Hu and Hu Che'er, and then, a hoarse cry came from outside the door, and after about half an hour, Chen Hu dragged the newly appointed county guard directly from the outside, as if dragging a dead person.

At this moment, the newly appointed county guard was beaten to the point of bleeding, and the whole person was dying, and at the same time, he no longer had the domineering posture just now, just lying on the ground, constantly crying to Cao Xing, and constantly begging Cao Xuan for mercy.

"Cao, Cao Xing, no, Cao Junshou, you just spare me this time, I won't dare next time!"

However, Cao Xuan walked up to the county guard with a smile and asked, "Do you think there will be a next time!" ”

When the county guard heard this, his whole heart was terrified, but in a trance, he seemed to think of something, and immediately said to Cao Xing: "Cao, Cao Xing, aren't you the people who rule here in the name of benevolence and righteousness, today I just contradicted two sentences, but you want to kill me, this is not in line with the name of benevolence and righteousness at all, you kill me, it will do you all kinds of harm and no benefit!" ”

The newly appointed county guard seems to have caught a certain key point of Cao Xing, and has been speaking there in the name of benevolence and righteousness, but when Cao Xing heard this, he laughed twice again, only to hear him say: "That's right, I, Cao Xing, have said that under my rule is a place where the law is spoken, as long as everyone abides by the law, then it is a good citizen, and should be treated with benevolence and righteousness, but you don't seem to be my own people, you are my enemy, treat your own people, of course I Cao Xuan is benevolent and righteous, But if you treat your enemies with benevolence and righteousness, you will be cruel to yourself! ”

As soon as he heard this, the newly appointed county guard was heartbroken, and he wanted to say something more at this moment to save his life, but Cao Xuan had already waved his hand, Chen Hu understood, and immediately dragged the newly appointed county guard down, only to hear a clicking sound outside the door, and a human head rolled to the ground.

Chen Hu brought the head of the county guard over, and Cao Xuan asked him to put his head in a cloth bag, and then, Cao Xuan walked to the side of the new county guard who carried a few small officials, and those few little officials looked at Cao Xuan at this moment, and dared to slaughter their county guards at will, they were already frightened, and they lost the spirit at the beginning, replaced by infinite fear.

Looking at the trembling appearance of these little officials, Cao Xuan smiled and said: "You don't have to be afraid, I won't kill you, just ask you to bring back the head of your county guard, and by the way, give me a sentence like a thorn, if people don't offend me, I won't offend anyone, if people offend me, I will offend people!" ”

Those few little officials were already trembling with fright at the moment, where did they dare to say anything more, they could only nod like chickens pecking rice, and then took the head of the county guard and fled out quickly.

Seeing that the little officials were completely gone, Feng Yun came up and said to Cao Xing with some puzzlement: "Big brother, you just put those boys back, they are so cowardly here, but after they go back, it is estimated that it will be a different scene, if I guess correctly, they will definitely say bad things about you in front of the assassin history, you are tantamount to letting the tiger return to the mountain!" ”

When Cao Xing heard this, he just wanted to explain, but Jia Xu next to him took the lead and said: "No, little brother Fengyun, although your idea is correct, this is what the lord wants!" ”

When Feng Yun heard this, he still had a feeling of confusion, as if he hadn't come back to his senses yet, and Cao Xuan smiled and patted Feng Yun's shoulder, asking him to learn more strategies from Jia Xu in the future.

It was only three days later, Cao Xing was gathering everyone in the county guard mansion to discuss important matters, but at this moment, a scout hurriedly ran in, and after a closer look, behind this scout, there was also a black order flag, since it was a command flag, it represented this military order, and there was no doubt that the news brought back by the scout was related to the military.

And Cao Xing also divided the military news into two categories, if it is just a general military situation, there is no need to worry, the scouts are on the road, just walk at a normal speed, no need to run desperately, and they have a yellow order flag on their backs, but if it is an urgent military situation, then it must be 800 miles expedited, the scouts are galloping on the road, and they can't stop for a moment, and the order flag on their backs should also change from yellow to black.

Obviously, the scout's arrival was related to military intelligence, and it was still very urgent.

"Report to the county guard, now, Yang Chou, the defender of the Assassin Mansion, is leading a full 30,000 soldiers and horses to march towards our Jiuyuan County!"

Cao Xuan glanced at everyone, then nodded, signaling that the scout could go down and report back when there was news.

But not long after, another scout sped away, and on his back was still a black banner.

"Report! Chen Yu, the county guard of Xihe County, led 20,000 troops, marched eastward, and the goal was directly approaching my Bianyun County! ”

"Yanmen County guards Qiu Ji, leading 20,000 troops, to the west to attack our Jiuyuan County, and now there are about more than 100 miles away from our army's border defense line!"

……

"Report! The Assassin's Mansion has issued an approval document, announcing the entire annexed state, saying that there are people in Jiuyuan County who intend to rebel, and calling on all the county guards to raise troops to attack it! ”

When the last scout reported the news he got to everyone, everyone present was silent, Chen Hu Zhongqi and others, who had to be in high spirits at the beginning, were a little discouraged at the moment, if only one party came to attack, then there was nothing to be afraid of, it was a big deal to concentrate troops and fight a tough battle with him, but now this agent assassinated Shi Zhangyang, obviously angry, and directly launched a three-way army to encircle and suppress Jiuyuan County.

With one dozen three, this is indeed a bit of a headache, so Chen Hu and the others are also out of temper at the moment, but Cao Xuan looked at everyone a little deflated, but laughed.

"What, are you scared?" Cao Xuan stared at Chen Hu and the others with burning eyes and asked.

When Chen Hu heard this, he was a little unconvinced at first, and opened his mouth to refute it, but when the words came to his mouth, he suddenly swallowed them back, and finally could only spread his hands to Cao Xing and said: "Lord, it's not that I, Chen Hu, am greedy for life and afraid of death, if I want to fight, I will be the first to charge forward, but the available troops in our hands now are only more than 20,000 people, and the other party has a total of 60,000 or 70,000, and they are still attacking together on three sides, this battle, how to fight this battle!" ”

Chen Hu's meaning actually represents the meaning of most generals, but Cao Xing smiled when he heard this, he directly set his eyes on Jia Xu, and then asked: "Hehe, Master Soldier, do you have any tricks to help me retreat from the enemy, say it quickly!" ”

Since the time of the rebellion in Chang'an, Jia Xu has been on Cao Xing's side, and Cao Xu is not ambiguous, and immediately worships Jia Xu as a military advisor, this top strategist in history helps him, and I believe that in the future, whether it is strategically or militarily, it will get twice the result with half the effort.

But what Cao Xuan didn't expect was that after Jia Xu heard this, he raised his drooping eyelids, then smiled at Cao Xing, and said, "The lord has already had a good plan to retreat from the enemy, why ask me!" ”

As soon as he heard this, Cao Xing's heart was quite speechless, this Jia Xu would figure out people's hearts, and seeing that Cao Xing was so fearless, he knew that Cao Xing had a clever plan. Even he explained later that he couldn't compete with the lord, so Jia Xu naturally wanted to give this opportunity to Cao Xing.
